This Wikispace was created by someone from the Ning in Education social group on Ning.com for fellow teachers who might need a little but of a tutorial in utilizing Web 2.0 tools that are free. Presenting the Web 2.0 Tutorial.
Sounds like an educational workshop and it is to a certain degree but mostly it is 1000 brilliant, successful, dynamic individuals from around the world that meet in Monteray each year. The conference is invitational and costs $6000. to attend. Hmm, much cheaper to listen to the speakers online! Freakonomics author Steven Leavitt, National Geographic Explorer Wade Davis, and Richard St. John with a great look at what makes people successful are just a few of the fascinating videocasts you can enjoy for free. Check it out!
Integrating Google Calendar into Wikispaces
So I don't know why it's taken me so long to realize this, but you can maintain a Google Calendar for your classroom and then in a Wikispaces Page, you can EMBED the HTML-URL of the calendar that you've elected to make public! It's pretty easy and looks sharp; much sharper than trying to "make" a calendar in WikiSpaces and wikitext! :) Check mine out. Go to http://macscience.wikispaces.com and click on my Calendar link in the navigation menu. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! I just created a wikispace for the Elementary Web Resources for Teachers course! Check it out and let me know if you'd like to be part of its development! Gawd... these wikispaces are addictive! Our district should just install a wiki server and let us all go nuts!
